Hi Devante: I am new to the fourm but will give it a shot. You didn't say what you were concerned with but I am going to assume it is the curving in of the building on the left and the tilt of the main structure. This is caused because you are shooting at 18mm which even on the APS-C size cameras is still very wide angle. I would suggest that you not go below 50mm for these types of shots (that will be about 85mm with the crop factor). That will help. I realize that some times you can't do this because you can't get far enough from the building etc. to get the shot the way you want it. You can also correct in Photoshop and strait up the main building but you will lose much of the photo when you do. Hope this helps a little. Keep at it, it is how we all learn.

Personally, I think the building to the left should be cropped out, but it definitely depends on what you were going for.

I don't think you need to worry about using wide angle lenses... unless you are shooting for an architecture studio or something like that. My first advice would be shooting with the camera in vertical position and if you can't get it straight enough, do it in post production
